    20 Tips And Tricks To Maximize Your Kitchen Storage

    When there aren't enough cupboards, try these tips.

    1. Rearrange your shelves and invest in some acrylic bins, labels, and a Lazy Susan to get the most out of your fridge's storage.

    2. Keep all the plastic bags from your most recent Target run in one stationary place with this bag holder that hangs from any door and stores your bags *inside* your cabinet without taking up any shelf space.

    3. Easily locate all your lids with this handy little organizer that'll fit snuggly amongst your mountains of lidless containers.

    4. Rid your cabinets of any bulky packaging like pasta, cereal, and snack boxes that take up valuable shelf space. These air-tight storage containers come in four different sizes to help you store foods of any size and keep them fresher longer.

    5. Stop frantically looking through drawers and cabinets trying to find your measuring cups and spoons or struggling to remember how many cups are in a quart. Instead, turn your measuring nightmare into a dream by simply painting your cupboard door with some chalkboard paint and adding a few hooks.

    6. Eliminate some countertop clutter by swapping your paper towel stand for a wall-mounted paper towel holder that also comes with a little shelf to store your dish soap, hand soap, and sponge.

    7. Turn that empty top drawer into handy spice storage with inserts that are designed to hold any spice bottle regardless of shape and will have you wishing you'd bought them sooner.

    8. Install an under-sink drawer to keep your cleaning supplies, value-sized dish soap, and new sponges all in one place, so you won't have to use your flashlight to look for them behind the sink pipes.

    9. Struggling to find a way to store the tops of your pots and pans? Try this lid organizer with six dividers to hold your bulkier lids. It also can be used to store cupcake tins, plates, and cutting boards.

    10. Spice up your life (and your kitchen cabinets) without taking up precious shelf space: Pair a sheet of metal with some magnetic tins.

    11. Take advantage of even the narrowest of spaces with this slide out storage tower. Plus, it has wheels which makes moving it super easy.

    12. Turn that awkward corner cabinet into a Lazy Susan. It could work as extra pantry space, easy storage for pots and pans, or as a useful spot to stash your Tupperware.

    13. Stick this magnetic knife and utensil holder on any wall in your kitchen or even on the side of your fridge so you'll have all the countertop space to slice, dice, and whisk away.

    14. Stack your mixing bowls, measuring cups, and strainer for easier storage with this nine-piece set.

    15. Place a sponge caddy in your sink so your dish sponge isn't just lying around, taking up precious counter space.

    16. Mount an organizer rack on your cabinet door to create extra storage for foil, wax paper, and plastic bags.

    17. Utilize the space under your shelves with these under-shelf baskets. You can use them to store more food in your fridge or keep extra napkins and garbage bags in your cupboards.

    18. Organize your cabinets with these stackable shelves that'll help you use 100% of your vertical cabinet space.

    19. Save yourself some shelf storage and the trouble of searching for lids with these nesting food storage containers.

    20. Hang a basket from removable adhesive hooks under your sink to store small cleaning supplies you don't want to get lost amongst the pipes and larger items. You can also use the hooks for hand towels.
